Engineering Manager | Rochdale
Lead a high-performing engineering team and keep operations running at their best in a large-scale production site.
The Work: As Engineering Manager, you’ll play a key role in keeping the plant running smoothly and efficiently. You’ll make sure maintenance plans maximise equipment uptime while keeping costs under control. Your role will blend technical oversight, budget management and strong leadership to support high standards in food safety and quality.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong technical knowledge with confident, people-focused leadership in a fast-paced manufacturing environment.
Joining Danish Crown means becoming part of a secure, stable business where your impact is visible every day. You won’t just be managing processes; you will have the autonomy to shape the engineering strategy of the site, breaking down silos and fostering a culture of trust and accountability across the factory.
Our strength lies in our people-first approach. We prioritise your growth through clear coaching and development, ensuring you have the tools to succeed. If you are looking for a role that offers the stability of a global leader with the opportunity to drive genuine, sustainable change in a collaborative environment, this is the place for you.
Danish Crown UK is a business built on trust, teamwork and ambition. We exist to deliver food that people believe in, and we know that takes strong leadership and collaborative cultures.
Our leadership principles guide us. We act for the good of the whole organisation. We hire brilliant people and help them grow. We are ambitious, curious and open to new ideas. We build trust by accepting mistakes as part of development. We believe real leadership is earned through example, not title.
Whoever joins us will help create a workplace where people feel safe to speak up, share ideas, challenge old ways of working and stretch themselves to achieve more. If that sounds like the environment where you thrive, we would love to hear from you.
The Danish Crown Group is a global food processing company and among the largest in its field. The Group is the world’s largest pork exporter and Europe’s largest pork processor. Furthermore, Danish Crown Beef is a significant player in the European beef market.
Just like the crops in the fields continuously change, Danish Crown tirelessly refine and improve how we work, from farm to fork, to ensure good, safe food for people around the world to enjoy. Our history goes back to 1887 and the Danish cooperative movement, and responsibility towards society, our employees and our owners, the farmers, is quite simply in our genes.
As a global leader in meat production, we have big obligations; not just to deliver, but to explore new opportunities. We still have a long way to go and face many challenges. But we remain committed to improving how food is produced - with respect for animals, people and the environment. In this quest, we are prepared to challenge ourselves, the industry and the market.
This journey is not ours alone, but we promise to be the leaders of change.
You will become a part of a strong culture with roots in the Danish co-operative movement, and at all levels of the organization, you will be met by an informal and direct tone.
